Abstract
Imaging examinations are a fundamental part of assessing chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). Plain radiographs are used in the initial examination, whereas stress radiographs can be requested to actively search for instability. Ultrasonography (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allow direct visualization of ligamentous structures, with the advantage of dynamic evaluation for US, and assessment of associated lesions and intra-articular abnormalities for MRI, which plays an essential role in surgical planning. This article reviews imaging methods to diagnose and follow up on CLAI, along with illustrative cases and an algorithmic approach.
